This image is a screen shot from Hubblecast 37 featuring a spectacular new NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image one of the largest ever released of a star-forming region. It highlights N11, part of a complex network of gas clouds and star clusters within our neighbouring galaxy, the Large Magellanic Cloud. This region of energetic star formation is one of the most active in the nearby Universe. Read more about it in the press release heic1011.
